As a parent, you are an important member of the Committee on Special Education and Committee in Preschool Education. The New York City Department of Education recognizes that electronic mail (email) is a valuable communication tool.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act provides that confidential written notices including notices of recommendations, procedural safeguards notices and notices related to due process complaints may be transmitted by electronic mail (email) with the written consent of the parent.

In order for school personnel to use the internet email system for transmission of notices to you, a signed consent form must be on file. If you would like to receive notices via email, please sign the consent on this form and return it to the address listed on the form

As evidenced by my signature below, I give consent for teachers and other school officials to provide me special education notices about my son/daughter via electronic mail.
